There is aluminum solder out there. Our local hardware store has some. But, its pretty high temperature stuff, as I recall. Don't know how well a battery would stand up when it is used. I have to use a little butane torch powered "iron" to use it.

Thats my concern as well. I can get the cells with leads and the accompanying protection PCB, but the cost more than doubles to $25.00 each. The charging/discharging circuit I have picked from Mchip is only a couple bucks with passives and does everything I need.

Back to Google search I go. I suppose i can simply wait till Monday and call the vendor and ask if they have the cell with leads too....DUH

Thanks Jim

Closest one is two states away so not cost effective. Thanks for the idea though

Too big. These packs are perfect. I either have to find them with the leads attached(and with the thermistor if possible), or find a way to attach the leads without damaging the cell. I only need six of them.

I will be making some calls in the morning.
